Mechanical Engineer

JOB DESCRIPTION

The ideal candidate will possess advanced experience with Creo and a strong background designing automated machinery, assembly equipment, or custom automation systems. Working closely with Project Engineers and cross-functional teams, the Mechanical Design Engineer will develop innovative, manufacturable, and reliable solutions that meet customer requirements, performance standards, and project timelines.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop custom automated assembly equipment, production machinery, and industrial automation systems using Creo Parametric.
• Create mechanical concepts, layouts, detailed assemblies, and component designs from initial requirements through final release.
• Utilize engineering principles and sound technical judgment to solve complex mechanical design challenges.
• Develop detailed manufacturing drawings, BOMs, specifications, and design documentation.
• Perform engineering calculations, tolerance analysis, component sizing, and mechanical evaluations to support design decisions.
• Support prototype development, equipment testing, validation, troubleshooting, and customer demonstrations.
• Participate in formal design reviews with Project Engineers and stakeholders, incorporating feedback and making necessary design improvements.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, controls engineering, systems integration, suppliers, and project teams to ensure successful project execution.
• Ensure designs meet requirements for functionality, safety, reliability, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness.
• Maintain thorough documentation throughout the design lifecycle, including revisions and engineering change processes.
• Deliver high-quality designs while managing multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor''s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 3+ years of mechanical design experience within automated assembly systems, custom machinery, industrial automation, robotics, or special-purpose equipment.
• Proficiency in Creo (preferred).  Proficiency in SWx will also be considered.
• Experience with Windchill PDM/PLM for design data management.
• Strong understanding of:
• Mechanical machine design
• Automated assembly equipment
• Pneumatic and mechanical systems
• Motion control components
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
• Component selection and system integration
• GD&T and engineering drawing standards
• Proven ability to independently execute complete machine designs with minimal supervision.
• Ability to effectively collaborate within a multidisciplinary engineering environment.
